Good Evening,

Well I home from the hospital today. My sleeve was picture picture according to my dr. I will say the worst is the gas. I made a mistake yesterday and tried to walk it out instead of asking for help. Boy I regreted that. They doped me up pretty good last night. I woke this morning a new women. I am glad I am home no more of waking me up every two hours to check vitals and blood sugar. I am sore but nothing I can handle. I wil give one piece of advice if you are in pain let me know dont let get out of hand. I thought I could handle it. The staff at South Miami Hospital are the best and very caring. Well I thought I would make a small post. To my red velvet gang I made it....Meggie and all my gang good luck next week.

Connie

Congratulations, Connie!!! I'm so glad your surgery was successful and you are feeling better.

I agree about the pain meds. I had a pump and whether I needed it or not, I pushed that sucker as often as it would let me. I figured I would have plenty of time at home to try to handle the pain on my own. If that stuff was available, I was using it!!! And it turns out I haven't had to take anything since I've been home.

Keep hanging in there!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
